Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project

When we spoke with Melbourne writer Graeme Simsion earlier this year about his debut novel The Rosie Project, we had no idea that his book was about to explode on the international scene. The comic story about a man with undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome has become a publishing phenomenon. The book's been picked up by publishers in more than 34 countries from China to Portugal. In the UK, Penguin won the bidding war and next month Graeme is being flown to London to begin his pre-publication publicity events. And where did all this begin? Well it began with Graeme winning the 2012 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript. Click here for a longer version of this interview.
